I'm not completely sure but this is what I would do.
evaluate <span>(1/ 4)^x - 1 </span>as is. But change the (1 /2)^2x to (2/4)^2x. This way both fractions have the same denominator and in this sense, the same base. The 2/4 base still evaluates into 1/2 so nothing, mathematically, is being broken here.
Answer:
190
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Confidence level = 99%
Therefore,
α = 1% = 0.01
[ from standard normal table ]
z-value for
= 2.58
Margin of error, E = $0.06
Standard deviation, σ = $0.32
Now,
n = 
Here,
n is the sample size (or the minimum number of gas stations )
on substituting the respective values, we get
=
=
= 13.76²
= 189.3376 ≈ 190
Hence,
minimum number of gas stations that she should include in her sample is 190
For this case we have the following expression:

We clear the value of the variable "g", for this:
We multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation:

We divide by 3 on both sides of the equation:

We simplify:
